A wiki is amazing, but really simple at the same time. Think of it as a website that you, and anyone else who you give access to, can edit anytime -- you just click edit, make some changes, and then click save, and the changes on the wiki are immediately published. Some wikis can allow you to do far more advanced things -- they are very flexible, but it is easy to get started.
You must be signed into your wiki in order to edit it.
You edit the page that you are looking at, so if you want to make a change, go to that page before clicking Edit.
Basic Page Layout
Pages may look a little different depending on the theme you choose, but here is a basic layout, with some important areas.
Adding a Page
Click the plus sign where it says Files and Pages.
Enter the name of the new page.
Add tags, if you want, to help you find pages later (helpful if you create a whole bunch of pages.)
Note: You can also create a new page simply by adding a link to a new page (on a different page) and then clicking that link.
Editing a page
Click Edit on the page you want to edit. After making changes, be sure to click Save!
Managing the Wiki
Click Manage Wiki.
Content - Pages and Files will help you find pages and files that you may not have linked up.
People - Manage People and invite people to view/edit your wiki.
Settings - Look and Feel will allow you to change the theme, colors, layout, logo, etc.
